Update OE.md

Browse source 
Hello Robert,
Here is my proposition to render this article more generic and more fit to the principle of OE.
Take what you feel acceptable for other partners (you are the boss) !

I do think these articles below may also be more generic if you remove what is not completely linked to OE (but more in a dedicated article like the getting started):
# Bootloaders and eMMC partitions
# Flashing build artifacts
# Proprietary firmware blob

Documentation structure is not easy to manage with the diversity but more you describe generic thinks more you simplify your work ....  Cheers !

## OpenEmbedded and Yocto
This page provides instructions to get started with OpenEmbedded and the Yocto Project on the DragonBoard 410c and HiKey.
This page provides instructions to get started with OpenEmbedded and the Yocto Project. It aims at being generic for any board support.
The board diversity should be addressed through dedicated BSP layer then MACHINE choice.

In this wiki, we assume that the reader is familiar with basic concepts of OpenEmbedded.
The support for DragonBoard 410c is available in the [meta-qcom BSP layer](http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-qcom).
The support for HiKey is available in the [meta-96boards BSP layer](https://github.com/96boards/meta-96boards).
These layers have been tested with OpenEmbedded Core layer, and are expected to work with any other standard layers and of course any OpenEmbedded based distributions.
The support for any board is available in the dedicated BSP Layers. These layers have been tested with OpenEmbedded Core layer, and are expected to work with any other standard layers and of course any OpenEmbedded based distributions.
The Linux kernel used for these boards is the Reference Platform Kernel (RPK). The graphic stack is based on mesa:
* using the freedreno driver for Dragonboard 410c
* using the ARM Mali Utgard GPU driver for HiKey
* using the ARM Mali 400 GPU driver for B2260
